Capo: 7th fret
Tuning: standard
C G Am C
The hands on the clock keep turning round
F C
They point to the time of the day.
C G Am C
The time means nothing with you by my side
F C
Though some time I'll be on my way.
(Chorus)
Am C
Down the road to where I must go,
F C
There's nothing between you and me.
C G Am C
I'll take a boat down the river, my love
F C
And sail away to the sea.
F C
I'll sail away to the sea.
What will you take to remember me by?
I've no money to buy you a smile.
I can't say the words to bid you farewell,
So I'll carry them with me a while.
You'll wave goodbye 'till I pass out of sight
As you're waving goodbye for good.
I can't even take you part of the way
I only wish that I could.
